MSMQ resource fails to come online if the MSMQ directory path contains double byte characters

The VCS MSMQ resource may fail to come online and may eventually fault if the MSMQ directory path contains Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters. (584162, 2121635)

The MSMQ agent log may contain the following message:

V-16-2-13066 Agent is calling clean for resource (MSMQresourcename) because the resource is not up even after online completed.

The Windows Event Viewer may display the following message:

The logger files cannot be initialized (Error: 0x800700003) The file \<filename\> in the \<MSMQdirectory\> folder is corrupted or absent. To start the Message Queuing service without losing consistency, you must correct or recover this file.

Workaround: This is a limitation from Microsoft. Do not use DBCS characters in the MSMQ directory paths.
